Good Breeding (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

Why oh why are thou so short? This is a cute little short, although as a non-Brit I had to think a bit on a few of the words, but it was pretty self-explanatory. Giles grew up knowing he was adopted, and with a push from his best friend Oz he finally goes to see his birth mother and the rest of her family.To say he was surprised might be an understatement, Giles is a bit of a snob, but deep down he isn't, his BF is just a real asshat and a bad influence on him.I liked that you are more than where you come from, or who your parents are, or your social status. I would have loved for this one to be longer, show me Oz and Giles friendship, show me Oz's longing for him, I want to see Hugh getting his comeuppance, a real relationship with his birth family, give me a peek at their future together, maybe a trip to Greece to look for dear ol' dad? For a short I really loved the humour in this one. Yes, Angie and her family are right "chavs" and are portrayed really well, just like any sitcom a little OTT maybe. The way it was written I could just hear the whole chav dialect oh so clearly in my head. For anyone who knows them, I immediately had the characters Daisy and Onslow in my head from the sitcom Keeping Up Appearances - lol!As for Giles, well I don't think he really is that much of a snob on the inside, Hugh was his main problem, but that solved itself in the end with Oz.If this short had been a teaser for a longer book, I would pick it up immediately. Definitely left me wanting more, which for me is a good sign for a short.

What do You think about Good Breeding (2009)?

OMG Hugh was such an asshole! I loved Oz from the start and was glad that Giles finally came around.

Seemed to be an idea paper for a possible novel. I would read the longer version.
